Donald Trump’s newest presidential portrait is drawing comparisons to another of his most famous – or infamous – photos.

Plenty of portraits barring historical significance have lined the walls of the White House, but the sighting of a recent addition stands out from the rest.

Photographers positioned in the Oval Office this week snapped several photographs of the President Donald Trump, or at least a picture of him.

Seen hanging just outside the president's office is the front cover of a New York Post issue that features Trump's now-famous mugshot taken in August 2023 when he was arrested in Georgia on charges that he conspired to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.

It's not clear when the newspaper cover, which hangs roughly eye-level in a picture frame, was hung up. One of the first photographs to catch the mugshot appears to have been taken earlier this month, on Feb. 4, when Trump welcomed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the Oval Office.

Trump will be pushing for a "fair" trade deal with India, while the two leaders will also discuss a new defense partnership and military sales during the meeting, senior White House officials said.
